Pixar's latest animated feature "Inside Out" took in $91 million at the box office over the weekend, exceeding industry and analyst expectations. Ahead of its debut, analysts at MKM Partners had predicted opening-weekend sales would total $66 million. While the movie ranked as the second-biggest opening weekend ever for Pixar, owned by The Walt Disney Co.

"Jurassic World" came out on top for the second weekend in a row, raking in $102 million. "Jurassic World" has now taken in $398 million in domestic box offices and $981 worldwide, according to boxofficemojo.com. With the recent success of movies in theaters, analysts at B. Riley and Co. expect the industry's box-office receipts to increase in the high-single digits in the second quarter compared to the previous year. This is above the 5% increase they anticipated at the beginning of the quarter due to weaker-than-expected theater showings.
